Brian, aka Bushboy, posted his monthly Last on the Card prompt, where he asks us to…
- Post the last photo from your camera’s SD card or the last photo from your phone taken in the month of October.
- No editing — who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like, or the subject matter didn’t cooperate?
- No explanations needed — just the photo will do.
- Create a pingback to Brian’s post or link in the comments.
- Tag “The Last Photo.”
So here’s the last photo I took on my iPhone in October.
I took this photo on Sunday in the early evening as the sun was starting to set in the west. I noticed a tree with these very bright orange berry-like things all over it across the privacy fence that separates my property from my neighbor’s to the east. It’s not a particularly good or even interesting photo, but I realized, after looking at it in my iPhone’s photo library, that my shadow shows me holding up my iPhone and snapping the photo.
In case you’re interested, below is a close-up look at the berries on what turns out to be a Pyracantha Coccinea tree, commonly called a Firethorn tree. The berries are bitter and astringent, making them inedible when raw. But supposedly they can be cooked to make jellies, jams, sauces, and marmalade. I think I’ll take a pass on that.
This, That, and the Other 
I bet those berries make a big mess when they start dropping all over the place, but they do look pretty on the tree.

Probably, but I hope they all fall straight down in my neighbor’s yard.

Our neighbors tree keeps dropping stuff that ends up in the pool, this will go on for several months and it means the filter needs to be cleaned more often.

That sure is a mass of berries. Is it a weed species? I love the first photo. It has everything that is great about the Last Photo. Has drama, intrigue, the psychological analogy of being contained by a fence, the possible Peeping Tom effect, the sexual nature of the berries and to include ones self into the scene is pure brilliance Fandango. Thanks for joining in 🙂 🙂
